Infamously-known world wide for his hacking abilities, console hacker GeoHot released an unauthorized code last week which allowed hackers to use illegal content on the PS3, tricking the console into thinking the software has been authorized by Sony.

The complete console is compromised - there is no way back. The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware. Sony will have to accept this.

Wont this all depend on the outcome of the case with geohot ? or is it over now if he won we can jailbreak if sony win they brick your ps3
I don't see how they have any right to brick anyones PS3. Sure they can take away the ability to play online but not brick someones system as a whole. That's a lawsuit for Sony from alot of people if they try and do that.
